Marshall


By the end of 1965 a production of 40 amplifiers and 100 cabinets per week was unable to reduce the growing back orders. Demand, fueled by the appointment of a distribution company, exploded. The world was crying out for more Marshall.

Throughout the 1960's the Marshall sound powered the most influential and original guitar players. From Pete Townsend with The Who, Eric Clapton with his distinctive Bluesbreaker tone, to Ritchie Blackmore with Deep Purple and the greatest ambassador of all, Jimi Hendrix. With his prodigious guitar talent, he used the power of Marshall as a creative tool and as an extension to the instrument itself.

By 1975 the first transistor heads were introduced, followed by the first Master Volumes in 1976. Guitar styles soon adapted to squeeze the most from this extension of the Marshall sound. Here began the quest for gain which continues to this day.

HAZE 40 – Portable, Pure Valve and Studio Quality Tone is what the New Marshall Haze Series is all about. The series is equipped with 3 ECC83 preamp tubes and two punchy 6V6 Power amp valves giving this series a Natural Tube Amp Tone. Turning up the normal channel volume takes your clean guitar tone and adds a natural crunchy valve drive, compression and bite that Marshall is so well know for. Switching to the Overdrive channel sees the amp really start to roar with simple volume and gain controls allowing direct, no nonsense access to your sound. So if you’re looking for an amp you can crank to achieve natural distortion without blowing the roof off, come by and check out the new Haze Series.

HAZE 15 HEAD - Most guitarists associate the name Marshall with 100 or 50-watt tube amplifier stacks, but the company has also produced some impressive low-watt heads and combos over the years that provide killer Marshall Tone at lower volumes. Marshall’s new Haze Series amps are the latest addition to the company’s low-watt legacy. The Haze Series feature channel switching and built-in digital effects, and they’re loud enough to gig with, yet quiet enough for the studio or late night jamming. The Haze 15 with one or two MHZ112 cabinets is perfect for guitarists who love Marshall Stack styling but don’t want the cops to show up when they just can’t resist the urge to turn it up to 11.

MA SERIES –The MA Series is Marshall’s most accessible range of valve-driven guitar amplifiers ever. By keeping the amplifier simple the Marshall MA100C is able to deliver the benefits of all-valve tone and colour, while maintaining an attractive price tag. The Marshall MA100C are powered using the traditional Marshall mainstays of ECC83 double triode valves in the preamp, and EL34 pentode valves in the power amp. The layout and controls are kept simple, allowing you to explore unhindered the full potential of the all- valve tone within. The MA100C benefits from separate equalization stages for both the Clean channel and Overdrive channel allowing you to optimally adjust each one without compromising the other. An extra benefit has been provided in the form of a valve driven 'Boost' function on the OD channel giving you, for example, a solo boost with more volume and gain.
